* In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me , even unto me Daniel Daniye #l #, after that which appeared unto me at the first . * And I saw in a vision ; and it came to pass , when I saw , that I was at Shushan in the palace , which is in the province of Elam ; and I saw in a vision , and I was by the river of Ulai . * Then I lifted up mine eyes , and saw , and , behold , there stood before the river a ram which had two horns : and the two horns were high ; but one was higher than the other , and the higher came up last . * I saw the ram pushing westward , and northward , and southward ; so that no beasts might stand before him , neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand ; but he did according to his will , and became great . * And as I was considering , behold , an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth , and touched not the ground : and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes . * And he came to the ram that had two horns , which I had seen standing before the river , and ran unto him in the fury of his power . * And I saw him come close unto the ram , and he was moved with choler against him , and smote the ram , and brake his two horns : and there was no power in the ram to stand before him , but he cast him down to the ground , and stamped upon him : and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand . * Therefore the he goat waxed very great : and when he was strong , the great horn was broken ; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven . * And out of one of them came forth a little horn , which waxed exceeding great , toward the south , and toward the east , and toward the pleasant land . * And it waxed great , even to the host of heaven ; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground , and stamped upon them . * Yea , he magnified himself even to the prince of the host , and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away (8675 ), and the place of his sanctuary was cast down . * And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression , and it cast down the truth to the ground ; and it practised , and prospered . * Then I heard one saint speaking , and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake , How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice , and the transgression of desolation , to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot ? * And he said unto me , Unto two thousand and three hundred days #H1242 ; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed . * And it came to pass , when I , even I Daniel Daniye #l #, had seen the vision , and sought for the meaning , then , behold , there stood before me as the appearance of a man . * And I heard a mans voice between the banks of Ulai , which called , and said , Gabriel Gabriy #el #, make this man to understand the vision mar #eh #. * So he came near where I stood : and when he came , I was afraid , and fell upon my face : but he said unto me , Understand , O son of man : for at the time of the end shall be the vision . * Now as he was speaking with me , I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground : but he touched me , and set me upright . * And he said , Behold , I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation za #am #: for at the time appointed the end shall be . * The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia . * And the rough goat is the king of Grecia : and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king . * Now that being broken , whereas four stood up for it , four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation , but not in his power . * And in the latter time of their kingdom , when the transgressors are come to the full , a king of fierce countenance , and understanding dark sentences , shall stand up . * And his power shall be mighty , but not by his own power : and he shall destroy wonderfully , and shall prosper , and practise , and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people . * And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand ; and he shall magnify himself in his heart , and by peace shall destroy many : he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes ; but he shall be broken without hand . * And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true : wherefore shut thou up the vision ; for it shall be for many days . * And I Daniel fainted , and was sick certain days ; afterward I rose up , and did the kings business m @la #kah #; and I was astonished at the vision mar #eh #, but none understood it .
